I just love this song. Have you listened to it? Miley Cyrus – a great raspy voice. I am a person, however, who likes onesy twosies of songs that artists do, so while I love this (and her Flowers song), you wouldn’t find me in the die hard fan category. But the melody of this – AND the lyrics – my goodness. How apropos.
The truth is bulletproof, there’s no fooling you
I don’t dress the same
Me and who you say I was yesterday
Have gone our separate ways
Left my living fast somewhere in the past
‘Cause that’s for chasing cars
Turns out open bars lead to broken hearts
And going way too far
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That’s fine, I’ve had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ’cause I used to be young
Take one, pour it out
It’s not worth crying ’bout the things you can’t erase
Like tattoos and regrets
Words I never meant and ones that got away
Left my living fast somewhere in the past
And took another road
Turns out crowded rooms empty out as soon
There’s somewhere else to go, oh
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That’s fine, I’ve had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ’cause I used to be young
Oh, oh
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh
Yeah
Whoa, whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh
I know I used to be crazy
Messed up, but, God, was it fun
I know I used to be wild
That’s ’cause I used to be young
Those wasted nights are not wasted
I remember every one
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ’cause I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That’s fine, I’ve had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ’cause I used to be young
